Kalameet, somewhere beneath Septum...Silence is all that can be heard around the illuminated sanctum that Kalameet stands upon as his hands moving in a symphonic motion as if he were directing an orchestra. Although, there was a clear sense of restlessness through his movements. His cruel side was getting the better of him as he violently orchestrated the crystalline objects around him, forcing them into positions and making them untraceable as he filled them with more than enough necessary energy for what he had in store for them. Things were going for too slow than what he had intended. Servants of all kinds have been summoned, some have been forcibly killed, some by his own hands, and yet still a victor had yet to be declared.
Days have passed now, but only a few show true potential of being capable of legitimately being declared the victor of this war, and holding the honor of having their wish granted. Then, there were also some who didn't show potential, some who he found to be... in simple terms- unwise to hold the grail.
First, that unholy tyrant... she was once a pure maiden, or, in her time, a 'he'. The King of Knights, King Arthur; the mightiest of all heroes in terms of honor who wielded the holy sword Excalibur and led the mighty knights of Camelot... but now look at her. A fallen Tyrant who would kill and throw away anything to achieve her goals... Normally, such a thing like that wouldn't be a problem for Kalameet, but to forget one's original ideals and betray them, to go against one's beliefs and to follow another path to achieve one's ends is not what he seeks for 'her'.
Although, she pales in comparison to the bigger threat... Gilgamesh. Truth be told, a chance to fight to so called King of Heroes is a marvelous chance that even Kalameet himself would find interesting, although there is no doubt in his mind he would win considering the Noble Phantasm that he wields, but it would be fun nonetheless. However, to allow someone such as him to casually walk over the other contestants and claim 'her' would make him even bitter.
Either way, those two must swiftly be dealt with. Still, despite the minor problems, some Servants have already begun fighting at the stadium... hopefully some may die to quell the numbers, if not, then he would have to speed things up. Being caught up in all of his plans and his thoughts, Kalameet didn't take the time to notice The Maiden walking up to him.
"You're stressing yourself again... Why are you so set on seeing this war end? I thought you didn't want it to end?" asked the Maiden as she took as seat as it materialized itself before her.
"I don't want the war to end for reasons of my own, my lady... but, as per your request, I must see to it that it does no matter the cost. In the end, those who die are meaningless as long as a victor is chosen... aside from those I've decided to eliminate."
"What do you mean by 'decided to eliminate'?" she asked curiously.
"Gilgamesh, King of Heroes and the now tainted King Arthur, King of Tyrants that has been summoned. While there are more I wish to eliminate, those two are on my first priorities," he replied as he finished placing the large crystals throughout the sanctum.
"You are to not interfere, Kalameet... That is an Overseer's job."
"You are correct, however, when there are anomalies that can disturb the initial plan of the war, then I see no reason for me not to interfere as I did with Caster. Thanks to you, I have no restrictions like the other Servants and their simple Class systems... for I have no container, I am a class of my own per se."
"Still... what you did to Caster was wrong... and uncalled for."
"He was strong, I admit, and I liked him. Were we not in a war he could have lived, but we were, so I eliminated him to preserve the candidates. My eyes saw exactly what the future had in store for me the moment he was summoned, so I already made counters to his unique speech impairment and whatever else he could do. As for the things that I faced, like I said, counters were already in place, and that was all for show and for me to show off the Lance of Longinus a bit, whether or not someone actually saw them while I was facing them can be up for debate, but it is irrelevant now. Point being, he was a threat to the candidates of the Holy Grail, and he needed to be eliminated... nothing else."
The Maiden grew silent as she heard him speak in a matter-of-fact tone. "So, what do you plan to do now?"
"Well, your gaze still pains me after what I did to Caster, so... I wont be going after them personally, but I do have 'them' watching over the entire sanctity of Septum. While it's not necessary since I have a good grasp of things, it allows me to relax while they do the work. Anyway, I plan to send 'him' to face Arthur, and those two to face Gilgamesh. Amusing, yes... If they prove to me that they can actually face their 'true' selves and perhaps change their ways, maybe I'll consider giving them a second chance. In the meantime, the Holy Grail War is going to be escalated even further."
"...What do you mean by that?"
"I've asked War, Pestilence and Conquest, Famine, and Death to begin using their Noble Phantasms at the four cardinals to strengthen themselves for the upcoming fight and to seal Septum permanently until a winner has been chosen. I've provided them with plenty of vassals to use so that they can gather strength from. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be ready to ride out when I give them the signal to, and it will take a many Servants to stop all of them... unless they band together and decide to stop them one by one, and make things easier," spoke the Overseer as
three figures began to construct themselves next to him.
"W-Who are they...?" asked the Maiden hesitantly as she looked over the three males who were created beside Kalameet. These beings didn't seem as if they were controlled, nor did they feel like they were actual Servants.
Kalameet, raised a hand towards the Maiden to give give him a moment as he calmly explained to them that he granted them life before giving them their targets. The knight sighed a bit, until hearing of the tainted king, before scowling and nodding. "Also... I've taken the liberty of permanently unsealing your holy sword, along with granting you all the beneficial boosts it gives you. Just... don't go waving it around, alright?" The proud heroic knight paused a bit, stunned at how such a thing was possible... or how someone could outright
overwrite a Noble Phantasm's seals and unlock them. There was no point arguing however, and instead he went ahead to face his target. The other two, a simple, yet stunning man wearing robes smiled as a familiar golden haired man, yet with a less kingly temperament over him. He discusses with the two their target, and while the golden-haired man refuses at first, it takes but a simple sentence from the stunning one to convince him otherwise to assist. The two then take their leave.
"To answer, your question... Maiden, they are our answer to our problem," he grinned before returning to his work with the crystals.
Ariel"Oh shut up, Goldy..." barked the girl as she stood up, and flung her guitar on her back with her things in a backpack. "Also, I got my things while you were out getting a... bike?" she gazed at the motorcycle suspiciously before shaking her head. "Really? That is the best you could come up with? You couldn't have like, I don't know, decided to pick up something not so cliche?"
Sighing, Ariel strapped her backpack on, and flicked the back of the King of Hero's head before taking a seat on backseat of the motorcycle. "Also, stop calling me meat doll, I have a name and it is Ariel. A-R-I-E-L. ARIEL," she barked before getting comfy. "So, I did some thinking and I decided we should probably head to Septum Spritz Hotel, it's fancy for your tastes, but there's enough people there that we wont draw the attention of other 'mongrels' as you like to call them?"
